③ 奇诺之旅小说现在出到第几本有超过10本么
作品简介
雨泽惠一作品之一,现有小说11本,还在连载中。由MEDIAWORKS电击文库出版。作品在2003年被改编为13话的TV动画和1话的OVA,并在2005年推出了第一部剧场版,第二部在2007年4月21日在日本上映。
奇诺离开了自己居住的国家,与师傅和艾尔梅斯一起在森林中的小屋里住了下来。除了一边帮助师傅做杂活外,还接受驾车训练。就这样每天驾着艾尔梅斯练习,日子就这样一天天平淡无奇的过去了。某天,奇诺去河边打水,遇上了一位游者,他与曾经为了救奇诺而牺牲自己的青年有着同样的打扮,这勾起了奇诺的回忆并与其交谈起来。自此之后,奇诺下定了决心,要开始他自己的旅程。
《奇诺之旅》的 世界观是架空的。作为一部单元剧,它成功摆脱了单调重复的模式,自然如潺潺流水般讲述着人心最隐蔽的痛楚。观众随着主人公奇诺的旅程一起经历形形色色的国家,而每一个故事的英文标题,更是画龙点睛,不动声色地击中了故事的主旨。
《奇诺之旅》是一部写给成人的灰色童话,作品由始至终贯穿着灰色阴暗的调子,但感觉并不令人颓废,反而让人平静。《奇诺之旅》不是会让人悲伤的作品,也不会媚俗和煽情,每一个小故事的结局都让人在震撼之余又苦涩的无法用于言语表述,它带给观众的更多的是对自身人生态度的反思。那些阴暗的,扭曲的,愚昧的,自我欺骗的,麻木不仁的等等人类潜在的丑恶被作者加工后更深刻沉重地展现在人们面前。分明是童话,感觉却那么真实。
现实永远比戏剧更荒谬,谁能否认那嬉笑怒骂后的无奈不是触到了内心的痛处?作品中也经常利用高光,反复插叙倒叙的手法让人产生迷离感,模糊了观众对作品中现实与虚幻的划分,也表达了内容本身对世界置疑的态度。
你认为世界是美丽的么?看《奇诺之旅》吧,你会知道,世界并不美丽。
你认为世界并不美丽么?看《奇诺之旅》吧,你会知道,世界因此美丽。
也许奇诺要告诉我们的,就是在并不美丽的世界中,寻找世界的美丽之处,正如它的英文标题:the beautiful world.饱含着美丽的心情,找到属于自己的美丽世界。
奇诺为什么总要旅行呢? (奇诺的自白)
“我嘛,有时觉得自己难道不是一个一无是处,愚蠢矮小的家伙嘛?自己不是一个很肮脏的人嘛?虽然说不出原因,但是确实有那种感觉。但是,那个时候,总是觉得除了自己之外所有的一切,比如说世界啦,他人的生活啦等等,都是很完美,很温馨的。不自觉地非常喜欢``````我希望知道的多一点,更多一点,为此才想旅行。”
以短篇连载的形式连缀的和奇诺谈话的二轮车艾尔梅斯的旅行的话语。
奇诺游访了许多的国家,并且遇到了各种各样的人,但是在每个国家只待上三天,这是为什么呢?
“说是因为在一个国家只能待三天,实际上是怕和人接触多了,就会住下来``````如果住下来的话``````就不是旅行者了。”确实,接触就意味着和人建立关系,旅行者为什么是旅行者? 因为能够无拘无束地到能够到达的地方,一旦有了羁绊,就束缚了旅行者自由的心和脚步,如果心不自由的话,无论走过的路程有多远,都不是一个真正意义上的旅行者。
“旅行者,为什么要旅行?”
“因为我是一名旅行者。”
看似荒诞不经的话语却是我听到过的最遵从内心的回答。有些事,不需要理由,仅仅就是因为是,所以是。其中的含义只可意会,不可言传,深究是毫无意义的。踏上旅途是必然,成为旅行者亦是必然。
脚下辗转过的路未必会留下我的痕迹,但路已经在我的心里。前方的旅途还远,既然已背起行囊,目的地就在远方,现在只需要走下去,即使遇到多么大的障碍,也要坚定不移地走下去,即使受到多么大的诱惑,也要头也不会地走下去。不为什么,只是因为,我是一名旅行者。

在《奇诺之旅》中,The world isn’t beautiful, therefore it is. 世界并不完美,却因此美丽。这种句子常在古代诗歌中出现,现在不多见。
奇诺之旅表现的不只有人性的阴暗世界,对于奇诺来说,我们只能说她是个人,她具备的是所有人的特征,然而她又可以抛开一切去旁观这个世界。不管这个世界多么丑陋,她依然美丽;不管人们的罪孽多么沉重,我们变不了的是我们只是人。
有讽刺,但更多的是真实和的少量无奈……
个人觉得奇诺不是表现人性丑陋的,更多是无奈。有谁真正是错的。
如果现在还说什么对的错的,完美的丑陋的,实在是太可笑了。奇诺并没有宣扬什么,也并没有权利惩罚什么,只不过是为了想要继续旅行下去而尽全力的一个旅人而已。
完美的世界也是不可想象的恐怖的。
至于看破红尘……奇诺似乎还没到不是人间烟火或者“我不入地狱谁入地狱”的境界,而且看过小说的人都会发现,奇诺的性格里孩子气的成分还是很多的,比起动画里澄澈的感觉,更加人性化了。

恶魔(凑字)
更新时间2010-9-1 13:40:52 字数:14327
基本概念
恶魔(英文:Demon)是各种宗教、文学作品、影视作品、ACG作品中虚构的拥有超自然力量的邪恶存在,通常是特别强大的魔鬼。人心所浮现的恶意即是恶魔。当人类遭遇到自然力量的威胁、自己或者他人的恶意,自然而然会去寻找其源头。而这些造成恶意的原因,被具体化形成了邪灵、恶神,甚至到最后形成了所谓的恶魔。对于人类来说,恶魔是迷信的产物,也是不存在的,但是"恶魔般的"亦及"有害的"东西却会因人自身的恶意而困扰着人们,"恶魔"只不过是迷信的人们捏造出来替自己的邪念与恶行承担罪责的替罪羔羊罢了.
综观东方或西方的历史,人类文化早期的泛灵论(Animism)时代,并没有恶魔的存在,那时候顶多只有邪恶精灵的出现,或是所谓的恶作剧精灵(Trickster)。当历史开始进入多神教时代,人们相信善与恶始终是对立的,相对于代表正义的善神,另一方面代表邪恶势力的恶神也随之登场,彼此共存,相互制衡。源于波斯及巴比伦等地的宗教主张善恶二元论,为人类揭示了光明与黑暗两股势力的源头。如萨满宗教中为人带来疾病等灾厄的“邪恶精灵”“恶灵”、神祇或人类之敌、诱惑人类的存在,皆可以demon称之。但是,强调唯一真神的基督宗教(包含天主教在内)均将异教神祇视为恶魔(Demon),以否定其神格的存在,就连旧约圣经里的撒旦(Satan)也是神忠实的仆役。到了新约圣经以后的时代,……

⑥ 超高分求欧亨利的小说《剪狼毛》
只找到英文版的《shearing the wolf》
http://www.literaturecollection.com/a/o_henry/56/
原文如下:
Jeff Peters was always eloquent when the ethics of his profession was
under discussion.
"The only times," said he, "that me and Andy Tucker ever had any
hiatuses in our cordial intents was when we differed on the moral
aspects of grafting. Andy had his standards and I had mine. I didn't
approve of all of Andy's schemes for levying contributions from the
public, and he thought I allowed my conscience to interfere too often
for the financial good of the firm. We had high arguments sometimes.
One word led on to another till he said I reminded him of Rockefeller.
"'I don't know how you mean that, Andy,' says I, 'but we have been
friends too long for me to take offense, at a taunt that you will
regret when you cool off. I have yet,' says I, 'to shake hands with a
subpoena server.'
"One summer me and Andy decided to rest up a spell in a fine little
town in the mountains of Kentucky called Grassdale. We was supposed to
be horse drovers, and good decent citizens besides, taking a summer
vacation. The Grassdale people liked us, and me and Andy declared a
cessation of hostilities, never so much as floating the fly leaf of a
rubber concession prospectus or flashing a Brazilian diamond while we
was there.
"One day the leading hardware merchant of Grassdale drops around to
the hotel where me and Andy stopped, and smokes with us, sociable, on
the side porch. We knew him pretty well from pitching quoits in the
afternoons in the court house yard. He was a loud, red man, breathing
hard, but fat and respectable beyond all reason.
"After we talk on all the notorious themes of the day, this Murkison--
for such was his entitlements--takes a letter out of his coat pocket
in a careful, careless way and hands it to us to read.
"'Now, what do you think of that?' says he, laughing--'a letter like
that to ME!'
"Me and Andy sees at a glance what it is; but we pretend to read it
through. It was one of them old time typewritten green goods letters
explaining how for $1,000 you could get $5,000 in bills that an expert
couldn't tell from the genuine; and going on to tell how they were
made from plates stolen by an employee of the Treasury at Washington.
"'Think of 'em sending a letter like that to ME!' says Murkison again.
"'Lot's of good men get 'em,' says Andy. 'If you don't answer the
first letter they let you drop. If you answer it they write again
asking you to come on with your money and do business.'
"'But think of 'em writing to ME!' says Murkison.
"A few days later he drops around again.
"'Boys,' says he, 'I know you are all right or I wouldn't confide in
you. I wrote to them rascals again just for fun. They answered and
told me to come on to Chicago. They said telegraph to J. Smith when I
would start. When I get there I'm to wait on a certain street corner
till a man in a gray suit comes along and drops a newspaper in front
of me. Then I am to ask him how the water is, and he knows it's me and
I know it's him.'
"'Ah, yes,' says Andy, gaping, 'it's the same old game. I've often
read about it in the papers. Then he concts you to the private
abattoir in the hotel, where Mr. Jones is already waiting. They show
you brand new real money and sell you all you want at five for one.
You see 'em put it in a satchel for you and know it's there. Of course
it's brown paper when you come to look at it afterward.'
"'Oh, they couldn't switch it on me,' says Murkison. 'I haven't built
up the best paying business in Grassdale without having witticisms
about me. You say it's real money they show you, Mr. Tucker?'
"'I've always--I see by the papers that it always is,' says Andy.
"'Boys,' says Murkison, 'I've got it in my mind that them fellows
can't fool me. I think I'll put a couple of thousand in my jeans and
go up there and put it all over 'em. If Bill Murkison gets his eyes
once on them bills they show him he'll never take 'em off of 'em. They
offer $5 for $1, and they'll have to stick to the bargain if I tackle
'em. That's the kind of trader Bill Murkison is. Yes, I jist believe
I'll drop up Chicago way and take a 5 to 1 shot on J. Smith. I guess
the water'll be fine enough.'
"Me and Andy tries to get this financial misquotation out of
Murkison's head, but we might as well have tried to keep the man who
rolls peanuts with a toothpick from betting on Bryan's election. No,
sir; he was going to perform a public ty by catching these green
goods swindlers at their own game. Maybe it would teach 'em a lesson.
"After Murkison left us me and Andy sat a while prepondering over our
silent meditations and heresies of reason. In our idle hours we always
improved our higher selves by ratiocination and mental thought.
"'Jeff,' says Andy after a long time, 'quite unseldom I have seen fit
to impugn your molars when you have been chewing the rag with me about
your conscientious way of doing business. I may have been often wrong.
But here is a case where I think we can agree. I feel that it would be
wrong for us to allow Mr. Murkison to go alone to meet those Chicago
green goods men. There is but one way it can end. Don't you think we
would both feel better if we was to intervene in some way and prevent
the doing of this deed?'
"I got up and shook Andy Tucker's hand hard and long.
"'Andy,' says I, 'I may have had one or two hard thoughts about the
heartlessness of your corporation, but I retract 'em now. You have a
kind nucleus at the interior of your exterior after all. It does you
credit. I was just thinking the same thing that you have expressed. It
would not be honorable or praiseworthy,' says I, 'for us to let
Murkison go on with this project he has taken up. If he is determined
to go let us go with him and prevent this swindle from coming off.'
"Andy agreed with me; and I was glad to see that he was in earnest
about breaking up this green goods scheme.
"'I don't call myself a religious man,' says I, 'or a fanatic in moral
bigotry, but I can't stand still and see a man who has built up his
business by his own efforts and brains and risk be robbed by an
unscrupulous trickster who is a menace to the public good.'
"'Right, Jeff,' says Andy. 'We'll stick right along with Murkison if
he insists on going and block this funny business. I'd hate to see any
money dropped in it as bad as you would.'
"Well, we went to see Murkison.
"'No, boys,' says he. 'I can't consent to let the song of this Chicago
siren waft by me on the summer breeze. I'll fry some fat out of this
ignis fatuus or burn a hole in the skillet. But I'd be plumb diverted
to death to have you all go along with me. Maybe you could help some
when it comes to cashing in the ticket to that 5 to 1 shot. Yes, I'd
really take it as a pastime and regalement if you boys would go along
too.'
"Murkison gives it out in Grassdale that he is going for a few days
with Mr. Peters and Mr. Tucker to look over some iron ore property in
West Virginia. He wires J. Smith that he will set foot in the spider
web on a given date; and the three of us lights out for Chicago.
"On the way Murkison amuses himself with premonitions and advance
pleasant recollections.
"'In a gray suit,' says he, 'on the southwest corner of Wabash avenue
and Lake street. He drops the paper, and I ask how the water is. Oh,
my, my, my!' And then he laughs all over for five minutes.
"Sometimes Murkison was serious and tried to talk himself out of his
cogitations, whatever they was.
"'Boys,' says he, 'I wouldn't have this to get out in Grassdale for
ten times a thousand dollars. It would ruin me there. But I know you
all are all right. I think it's the ty of every citizen,' says he,
'to try to do up these robbers that prey upon the public. I'll show
'em whether the water's fine. Five dollars for one--that's what J.
Smith offers, and he'll have to keep his contract if he does business
with Bill Murkison.'
"We got into Chicago about 7 P.M. Murkison was to meet the gray man at
half past 9. We had dinner at a hotel and then went up to Murkison's
room to wait for the time to come.
"'Now, boys,' says Murkison, 'let's get our gumption together and
inoculate a plan for defeating the enemy. Suppose while I'm exchanging
airy bandage with the gray capper you gents come along, by accident,
you know, and holler: "Hello, Murk!" and shake hands with symptoms of
surprise and familiarity. Then I take the capper aside and tell him
you all are Jenkins and Brown of Grassdale, groceries and feed, good
men and maybe willing to take a chance while away from home.'
"'"Bring 'em along," he'll say, of course, "if they care to invest."
Now, how does that scheme strike you?'
"'What do you say, Jeff?' says Andy, looking at me.
"'Why, I'll tell you what I say,' says I. 'I say let's settle this
thing right here now. I don't see any use of wasting any more time.' I
took a nickel-plated .38 out of my pocket and clicked the cylinder
around a few times.
"'You undevout, sinful, insidious hog,' says I to Murkison, 'get out
that two thousand and lay it on the table. Obey with velocity,' says
I, 'for otherwise alternatives are impending. I am preferably a man of
mildness, but now and then I find myself in the middle of extremities.
Such men as you,' I went on after he had laid the money out, 'is what
keeps the jails and court houses going. You come up here to rob these
men of their money. Does it excuse you?' I asks, 'that they were
trying to skin you? No, sir; you was going to rob Peter to stand off
Paul. You are ten times worse,' says I, 'than that green goods man.
You go to church at home and pretend to be a decent citizen, but
you'll come to Chicago and commit larceny from men that have built up
a sound and profitable business by dealing with such contemptible
scoundrels as you have tried to be to-day. How do you know,' says I,
'that that green goods man hasn't a large family dependent upon his
extortions? It's you supposedly respectable citizens who are always on
the lookout to get something for nothing,' says I, 'that support the
lotteries and wild-cat mines and stock exchanges and wire tappers of
this country. If it wasn't for you they'd go out of business. The
green goods man you was going to rob,' says I, 'studied maybe for
years to learn his trade. Every turn he makes he risks his money and
liberty and maybe his life. You come up here all sanctified and
vanoplied with respectability and a pleasing post office address to
swindle him. If he gets the money you can squeal to the police. If you
get it he hocks the gray suit to buy supper and says nothing. Mr.
Tucker and me sized you up,' says I, 'and came along to see that you
got what you deserved. Hand over the money,' says I, 'you grass fed
hypocrite.'
"I put the two thousand, which was all in $20 bills, in my inside
pocket.
"'Now get out your watch,' says I to Murkison. 'No, I don't want it,'
says I. 'Lay it on the table and you sit in that chair till it ticks
off an hour. Then you can go. If you make any noise or leave any
sooner we'll handbill you all over Grassdale. I guess your high
position there is worth more than $2,000 to you.'
"Then me and Andy left.
"On the train Andy was a long time silent. Then he says: 'Jeff, do you
mind my asking you a question?'
"'Two,' says I, 'or forty.'
"'Was that the idea you had,' says he, 'when we started out with
Murkison?'
"'Why, certainly,' says I. 'What else could it have been? Wasn't it
yours, too?'
"In about half an hour Andy spoke again. I think there are times when
Andy don't exactly understand my system of ethics and moral hygiene.
"'Jeff,' says he, 'some time when you have the leisure I wish you'd
draw off a diagram and foot-notes of that conscience of yours. I'd
like to have it to refer to occasionally.'"
